    this is my world as well
    my OH will leave a wet spoon on a scrubbed clean work surface but won't lob it into the sink for washing up, the tea bag goes next to the kettle even though the green waste bucket is inches away, next to the back door, he empties coal into coal bucket from the sack but half if it is on the floor ...
    deep sigh, some things are not worth arguing about

    Keeps you busy and out of trouble ;)

    The empty loo roll tube left on the cistern when the bin is a metre below :mad:
    The numerous Clarnico Peppermint Creams wrappers littered around the floor, surfaces, stairs
    The one biscuit left in packet
    clothes inside out in washing basket
    using a whole roll of loo paper a day :eek::eek::eek:
    rearranging everything to make it comfortable for a cat :mad: lovely garments used as cat blankets - ruined :( (Outside parasol is now open at 4' off ground so cat can lie on table - no one else can get under it :mad: )

    Tenth Anniversary
    Afternoon peeps. :)

    Been sat in my lounge when I heard loud cracking and then saw a huge tree fall into my garden. :eek: There's a big slope from the back of my garden going up to a cycle path. I hope with all the rain we've had lately, more don't come down!! And as usual, the council office is now shut.

    (and I'm getting on train from it's starting point in Cardiff so no seat rage :o )
